What a great day out with my oldest chum Martin Read! More in hope than expectation, we started off at Ormesby Little Broad, where we soon added Brown & Norfolk Hawker to the day-list. While we were scanning the Broad from the viewing platform, a dashing little Hobby made a pass or two at a Black-headed Gull, while a pair of Buzzards loafed over the woodland.
Kingfisher, Red-eyed Damselfly and Black-tailed Skimmer joined the list, before the star attraction turned up: a pristine Lesser Emperor! We had fabulous views as this sought-after dragonfly tazzed backwards and forwards. It was so unpredictable - and fast! - that I held out little hope of any photos: but, mirabile dictu, I managed four reasonable efforts!
